Welcome

Free Matt Sopron is a website dedicated to supporting the efforts of the Sopron Family to see their son Matt Sopron returned home.

Matt is currently serving a life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. While Matt is ineligible for parole those directly tied to the crime will be eligible for parole in 2020. This reality makes one question the level of justice at work in our court systems.

Help bring Matt home by getting involved and signing our petition at Change.org!

Our Mission

The Free Matt Sopron mission is to bring together those who’d like to see Matt go free. We want you to read for yourself all the facts of the case that show Matt was framed and is innocent. We want the court and media to know Matt is not alone in his fight for freedom.

Who We Are

People for Matt Sopron is a group of private citizens who want to bring awareness to Matt’s plight. We want the public to understand what has occurred in Matt’s case and join in our quest to get his case opened up and given the scrutiny it deserves.

How can you help?

Help spread the word about Matt’s wrongful conviction and the injustices done to him. Please post your pictures on the Free Matt Sopron Facebook page to show your support for him holding a Free Matt sign of any sort. Sign the Change.org so that we will be able to show all the people who want Matt’s case opened again. Your thoughts and prayers are always welcome.
